Notes

Testing size 33” (size 1). I have a 30” full bust for a total of 3” of positive ease.

Long Sleeve Option
MC (artichoke)= 561 yds
CC1 (spruce)= 62 yds
C2 (Fior di latte)= 74 yds
C3 (desert rose)= 28 yds

My MC balls don’t match as well as I would like, so I’ve divided each into two balls and am alternating three throughout so that the color is more muted and mellow rather than a significant color shift.

Body stockinette with US 6
Colorwork and Sleeves with US 7
Ribbing with US 5
